#1 Engine breather arrangement when fitted Webers

Post by Beechbum » Mon Apr 01, 2024 8:47 am

Good Morning
Series 2 FHC 1970 US LHD converted to RHD.
This car has been fitted with Webers with no air filters. The car is partially incomplete at the moment. Could anyone tell me the best way to connect the engine breather , which is open at the moment. I was thinking a spill tank. I'm sure other members must have had/ overcome this problem. Any advice/photos gratefully received.

Kind regards Steve

Hi Steve,

I’m in the process of restoring my car at the moment but I’ll be using a catch tank for the breather system. I’ve seen previous owners place the catch tank in the location of the original air filter canister. R

Hi Steve,
This is where my engine breather goes to the catch tank on my Series 1. I bought the alloy catch tank, modified the inlet to take a braided hose from the engine breather outlet, plus added an extra outlet so both filtered outlets let any vapour out to be potentially drawn into the Webers. I have a drain plug in the bottom which needs draining each season to get any condensed water out.
Regards,
Dave
